Tex walked into Ponyville, looking at all the ponies that walked through town, each one minding their own business. She began to wonder that if she really couldn't be able to get a job as a mercenary, what would she do there. After a few minutes of thinking about what would happen later on, she realized that she was being followed. She did not turn to see by who, but instead kept walking. Soon the ponies following her began to walk slightly faster, trying to catch up with her.
"Are you sure that's her?" One of the ponies asked.
"Of course I am, just look at her cutie mark!" Another pony said.
"Then why's she runnin'?" A third one asked.
Tex turned around to see who was talking, but could not see anyone.
"Down here."
Tex looked down to see three filllies looking up at her. One was yellow with a red mane which had a red bow attached to it. The second pony was an orange pegasus with a purple mane. The third filly was a white unicorn, and her mane was both lavender and pink.
"Are you Tex?" The orange filly asked.
"Depends on whose asking."
"My name is Scootaloo."
"Ah'm Applebloom."
"And I'm Sweetie Belle."
"And we're the Cutie Mark Crusaders!" They all said in unison.
"Fascinating. Do you need something?" Tex asked abrasively.
"Not really, we just wanted t' introduce ourselves." Applebloom peeped.
"Then yeah, I'm Tex."
"Wow. You're already a legend in Ponyville!" Scootaloo said.
"I am?" Tex asked, not even slightly surprised.
"An earth pony who beat up three pegasi without any trouble." Sweetie Belle said.
"An' not just any earth pony. A mare! From th' Everfree Forest!" Applebloom laughed. "Ah bet those three won't ever show their faces 'round these parts again."
"Don't forget that she didn't have her cutie mark until she kicked their flanks." Scootaloo whooped, then raised her brow. "Waitaminute, I just realized. She didn't have her cutie mark until yesterday."
"And?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Maybe there just isn't a lot of things to do in the Everfree Forest."
"That's true. It's just that I thought Sarge and the other red and blue stallions were the only grown ups without theirs."
"I know Sarge." Tex said, interrupting their train of thought.
"Really?" Applebloom asked. "Sarge is stayin' over at the farm with me n' mah family!"
"So you're Applejack's, or whatever her name is, sister?"
"Yup." Applebloom nodded.
"Anything else you need to talk to me about?"
"Not really, why?" Scootaloo asked.
"Not to be rude, not that I mind being rude, but I'm kind of busy."
"Oh, sorry." Sweetie Belle said. "We just wanted to meet you, but we need to get going to find our cutie marks."
"Yeah!" Scootaloo and Applebloom said together, and the three of them darted away.
Tex watched as they disappeared around the corner of a house, gathering that cutie marks were a big deal. She shrugged the thought off and resumed walking until she wound up in an area with dozens of stands, each one with a sign or a symbol on it, and she quickly understood that she wandered into a market.
"If I become a Freelancer here, maybe I should make a stand." Tex said jokingly to herself.
Tex turned around to see Fluttershy grabbing some coins out of a satchel to place on a stand, where a mare gave her a large bag. Fluttershy turned around and bumped into Tex, causing Fluttershy to fall down to the ground.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't watch where I was-" Fluttershy began, but stopped once she saw who it was.
"Fluttershy, right?" Tex asked, to which Fluttershy responded with a nod. "What are you doing?"
"I-I'm getting food for the animals I'm looking after."
"So you're getting food for Grif, huh?" Tex laughed, but Fluttershy just stared at her. "How can you deal with that idiot?"
"Grif's not bad. He may be a lazy stallion, but he has a big heart."
"Sure he does." Tex snorted. Fluttershy continued to stare plainly at her. "You're not kidding..."
"No, I'm not. There was this one time when I asked him to watch some bunnies for me, and he accidentally fell asleep-"
"Right. Accident." Tex rolled her eyes.
"And then when he woke up he ran into the Everfree Forest to find Angel Bunny." Fluttershy continued, ignoring Tex's jab at Grif. "He almost died when he was in there too."
"Wouldn't have been a loss really. Lord knows I've tried killing that yellow asshat with no success."
"Why don't you like him?"
"What is there to like?" Tex retorted. "For starters, he's an idiot. He's also really lazy. He's a smart ass-"
"He's not really any of those things." Fluttershy interrupted softly. "Whenever we talk he seems to be really smart. He may be a little lazy, but he often helps me around my cottage. And as far as being... um..."
"A smart ass?"
"Yes. I think you're just mistaking his sense of humor. It may be a little rough, and I may not understand most of his jokes, but he means well. You just haven't gotten to know him."
"I can't fucking believe this place." Tex muttered.
"It was, um... goodbye." Fluttershy said quietly, before setting quick pace back to her home.
"Un. Fucking. Believable." Tex growled, before furthering her walk into Ponyville.
Tex wandered aimlessly through Ponyville for an hour, getting a feeling for her surroundings, until she came across the Carousel Boutique. She walked up to the door and opened it to see Rarity fiddling with a dress on one of the marequins.
"Hello, welcome to the Carousel Boutique." Rarity said without turning around to greet Tex. When Tex did not reply, Rarity turned to see Tex staring quietly at her from the doorway. "Oh, hello Tex. What brings you to my boutique? You wouldn't be happening to want a dress, would you?"
"No, just walking around. Getting a feel for the place just in case I have to stay here for any longer than I want to." Tex said, before adding quietly, "And I think that that time is just about up."
"Oh? And how are you liking Ponyville?" Rarity asked warily.
"I preferred the canyon."
"That's too bad." Rarity said, turning her focus back to the dress again. "I've heard of your reputation."
"And?"
"Well... I can't say I approve of that sort of thing, even to a group of ponies that deserve it as much as they do." Rarity said as she continued on her dress. "But I'm sure other ponies in Ponyville will look up to you to some degree."
"Where's Simmons?" Tex asked curiously.
"I believe Sarge wanted to speak with him, why? Do you need to speak with him?"
"Just trying to figure something out. See if he's changed at all."
"Changed?" Rarity repeated.
"Never mind, you wouldn't be able to help."
"Very well." Rarity said quietly. "So do you have any plans on what you intend to do here?"
"Find a way out of here."
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. I'll just have to wait until Delta is up here." Tex mumbled as she walked to the door.
"Leaving already?"
"Yeah, I need to do a little detective work."
"If you ever need a dress tailored, don't hesitate to look me up." Rarity said happily.
"I wouldn't count on it." Tex said as she slammed the door behind her.
2 hours working in my backyard, followed by 8 hours of live streaming DayZ, followed by another 2 hours of working in my backyard. Almost didn't have time to write tonight's chapter.

It's essentially a zombie survival mod for the game ARMA2.
You have to eat constantly.
You have to drink constantly.
Ammo is hard to come by (not so much with the most recent patch).
Zombies are plenty in cities (where zombies are located).
Other players are always trying to kill you for your stuff.
When you die, you lose all your guns.
It's essentially a "What if the zombie apocalypse really happens?" simulator.
There are tonnes of youtubers that have vids on it (CaptainSparkles, Robbaz, Seananners), I would suggest looking it up. It's one of my most favorite mods (and games) of all time.
Hey guys! I found my fiddle! Long story short, it got stolen by demon leprechauns who I ultimately kicked their asses in to next week and all the while stole a shit ton of gold. If you wanna here the long version, just ask.
OMG DUDE! ALL MY YES I CAN'T WAIT TO READ ALL OF THEM!
859043
can you give me the link to your livestream
859093
Well mine isn't up yet, but I was playing on my friends livestream. I'll be making a channel in a week or so once I grab XSplit.
Lols and rofls, another good chapter. I know this sounds redundant, but I cant wait for the next chapter
859006 ಠ_à²
859096
link to his?
859076???
859076 Doesn't leprechaun gold become useless the next day though. That was the legend I heard anyways, maybe demon leprechaun gold is different. Other than that though I'm glad you got your fiddle back.
859175
I understand, but I have to develop some character relationships.
I'm still kind of waiting for the reds warthog music to make an aperiance.
strange i always thought tex hated the canyon.
859235
Exactly.
859220
Exactly, I'll be expanding upon her character like I have done with most of the others so far.
Like Grif not being COMPLETELY lazy, and Church not being a COMPLETE asshole.
PFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTT. DayZ is so mainstream. MineZ is where it's at.
859107
Just leave it alone before you hurt yourself.
859180
No no no, that's Harry Potter leprechauns. I'm talking the kind of leprechauns that act like drunken Irishmen and will attack you without hesitation. And their gold is twice as valuable for the demon variety. And it was a bitch to get back, so thanks!
I see Tex is sneaking around. I'm fairly certain that's going to end badly for someone, somehow.
859029 The only "Day Z" I've ever heard of was the Day Z mod for ARMA 2. Perhaps that's what it's about?
tex is... such a... joy to be around!
Tex still being an asshole. Kewl.
My buddy bought DayZ (pronounced Day-Zed, Not Day-Zee like a gay flower) and I've heard good things about it. Would my shitty 4 gb of RAM, standard Graphics card, i7 processor laptop be able to handle it?
859558
Go here and select ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead then click "Can I run it?"
859568 Thanks! If I can, maybe I'll meet you in a dark alleyway so i can stab you in the back and take your food.
859340 Excuse me, sir. We have a bit of a... situation.
What you recovered was not, in fact, your fiddle. In truth, it is a sniper rifle disguised by an illusion spell. It is rather important to me, and I hope you can return it before you accidentally die a horrible death from Pink Cloud exposure.
Luckily, I found your real fiddle. I used it to kill a raider, so there might be some permanent bloodstains. But it still works.
-Echo
P.S. Want to buy a leprechaun? I've got some good rates for you.
Haha at first i didn't think i would like this since it was the people of red vs blue and mlp but I am happy to say I was wrong. I salute you and look forward to more.
Imagine if the CMC take after Tex and beat up Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoons.
I can't really did any comparison due to the not deep enough of the entire series, let alone an single season.
859558
Before reading your comment: "Daisy?... That can't be right."
After reading your comment: "Dazed; wait, no, that's not it..."
859879
Or the CMC hire her.
wooh! 145 CHAPTERS IN ONE WEEK!!! damn im bored.
i like it so far. tex seems pretty dead on, maybe a little too strident, but i believe that has to do with the environment she has been put in.
I always thought Tex was a pegasus. Looking back to the chapter where she was introduced, I noticed it didn't unambiguously mention which type of pony she was.
I personally think being a pegasus would fit her better, unless you planned for her to be an earth pony.
860300
Awww he was my first favorite character of Red vs Blue. Mostly because he was one of the few with some Goddamn sense in the first few seasons
859597 The Internet: The only place you can say that and not make anyone look funny at you...
Regardless, good chapter once again. I await what to see Tex wants with Simmons...
860421
Hehe he had a certain charm to him while doing so and about Fluttershy, it's cool. Not everyone has to like her, hell her meekness can be annoying for some
859096
Once its up I'll be sure to take a look.
860392
Yeah, she's just a regular earth pony because they're stronger than pegasi and unicorns.
Ya know, I've always wondereed something... Would Rarity make me any kind of clothes? Like, could I go into her boutique and ask her to make me some cool Multicam fatigues?
862352
I'd ask her to make assless chaps.
862381
Oh, you!
859623
No, I believe it's the other way around, because my fiddle has an enchantment which allows me to transform it into a sword an shield which are very unique. An illusion spell cannot replicate that.
860217 Can we expect to see that?
Started reading the whole thing the other day. Im loving this story! And the length of it. (bow chicka bow wow) Please keep this coming! I can't wait to see what happens next!
863961Dammit Tucker!
as bout as far as i could get in 12 hours... i have no regrets for tomorrow: i continue
Goddamn I love Tex so much! Tex, Carolina, C.T, and the Pilot. Those are the most awsome females in the Red Vs Blue universe!
927658 think you mean the ONLY females, well aside from sheila/F.L.I.S.S
2056600 F.I.L.L.I.S. you missed a letter.
2056600 What about South, and that Insurrectionist chick with the lipstick ODST armor.
Its ni CE to know TeX can spare Rarity's feelings.
927658 what about
donutshiela.
